Truth is stranger than fiction
Vic Barlow7/ 5/2008
I’M WRITING a new book and, as regular readers of my column, I thought I’d ask your opinion. This is the story so far:
A local businessman drives home in his executive motor dressed as a Roman gladiator, right? For reasons known only to himself, he’s blacked his face then drunk himself into an alcoholic stupor. He crashes his car and is pulled from the burning wreckage, before disappearing into the night. (Stick with me on this.)
